<h3>WASHINGTON'S DIFFICULT TASK.</h3>
<p>Shortly after Lincoln's inauguration, a senator said to him:</p>
<p>"You have as difficult a task as Washington's, when he took command of
the American Army, and as little to do it with."</p>
<p>"That is true, but I have larger resources."</p>
<p>(The three thousand millions spent on the war vividly contrasts
with the Colonies fighting rich England with an empty treasury and
barefoot, ragged soldiers.)
